Timber Oneshot

The Love of Tim and Bernard

Tim Drake was sore coming back from patrol one night. He was exhausted and ready to call it a night. His muscles were screaming at him to stop and call it a night. Tim then touched his comm and switched it to private between him and Barbara and said "Oracle, it's RR I'm heading home for the night."

Brabara's voice then came into his ear, "Its 4a.m. I was about to check in and tell you to go home and actually sleep." "You know me, always working the case and besides coffee is delicious." "Only you Red, anyway go home to your boyfriend. I'm sure he will be relieved to see you came home in one piece tonight." "Sure thing Babs, goodnight." He then turned off his comm.

He then started to grapple his way to his apartment where he and his boyfriend, Bernard lived.

His boots hit the balcony, and he forces open the window to climb in. The apartment looked dark, a black void that he and his lover called home. As soon as he shut the window, a light turned on. Bernard was sitting on the couch, a relieved look on his face. He ran up to Timmy trying to be mindful of any injuries his boyfriend might have and he hugged him, Relieved Tim came home another night.

"Y'know you don't have to stay up and wait on me." Tim stated. "I wanted to. Besides, I get worried and then I can't sleep. The life you live is a dangerous one and I worry about you." came the reply.

"Well you don't have to worry because I will never leave you, death can go fuck itself because I will never die on you." Tim said, pulling the straps of his uniform making the top part come off. Bernard reached over, beginning to tug off the uniform. "Well thank you for that. But I'm still gonna worry." Bernard said softly, moving away to grab a fresh pair of clothes he had laid out. "You worry too much." Tim grumbled, snatching the clothes and slowly walking towards the bathroom, exhaustion tugging at his limbs. "We can debate about it later, but right now someone needs to go shower because he has an important meeting tomorrow."

"Aw, come on, you know I hate going to those." Tim called from the bathroom. "But you gotta go. You know how much you like Bruce's approval and doing good with the company is a good way to do that." Bernard stated. Tim heard it and pouted at it. "I know I want them but you know I can just stay awake with coffee." Tim said coming out of the bathroom. "And you also know how much Bruce hates it when you don't take care of yourself." Bernard stated.

"Ok, fine you win." Tim said with a sigh of exhaustion. "You know I'm always right." Bernard said as he and Tim headed to the bedroom.

Tim and Bernard had now reached the bed. Tim got to the bed and then climbed in on his side. Bernard then climbed in the bed as well. Tim cuddled up on Bernard's side. "Goodnight Timmy." "Goodnight Ber."

The next morning, Tim woke to the smell of french toast. And he then stumbled into the kitchen where he then saw his beloved, Bernard. He then goes over to his side and wraps his hands around his waist and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Tim then puts his head in the crook of Bernard's neck and mumbles, "It smells good."

"Thanks. I tried to make it special for you." Bernard said, taking the french toast out of the pan. He then dumped another piece of cinnamon bread onto the pan. Tim then untangled himself from Bernard and started to make himself coffee.

"I would have made you coffee but I know you like it a certain way." Bernard stated. Tim then reached for all the things he needed to make his coffee. "It's fine, I would have drank it anyway. What time is the meeting today?" "It's at 11am so you have time for breakfast." Bernard said as he put two plates down at the table and sat down.

Tim then finished making his coffee and sat down at the table as well. "So what do you plan on doing while I'm at the office today?" Tim said as he started to eat his food. Bernard also followed suit and started eating as well then he answered Tim's question. "I don't really know. I think I will go shopping for groceries at some point because we are starting to run low." "If you can't go today after I get out of the office I can go get them for you." Tim said as he finished his breakfast.

Bernard also finished and he got both of their plates and started to wash them in the sink. He then replied to Tim saying, "Timmy, I can get them. You don't need to worry about it, just focus on your meeting today." "Ok if you say so, Ber."

They then lounged around till Tim had to go get ready for work. He then put on his suit and kissed Bernard goodbye. He felt a lot happier than he had in a long time.
